The Broekfyn shoemaker FtniAhes
Et..t Win $40 MILES.


The six days go-as-you-please race ~
the Elite Rink, Philadelphia, ended on
saturday night, when Bobby Vint, tine
piuoky little Brooklyn shoemaker flushed
Ia first place with score OF bSu miles
and one lap, and won the Poltce 6dsstts
diamond belt worth about 81 500, and
one.fourth Of the gross receipts. There
was no change In the relative positions OF
the men from Friday. Little vint kept
up his lead over Hart, and the latter did
not make his great 'lastsday run" which
was expected to put him in first place.
The last day was uneventful, but mot
upexcitipq. There were 1900 people
present when Bobby Vint made his 6Ooth
mile In the morning, He ran the last TWO
miles in 10 minutes, and was cheered 10
the echo. Hart appeared the freshest
man in the race, bnt whenever he spurted
he found the little shoemaker close at his
heels. This discouraged the colored lad,
and he made no effort 20 gain on Vint
after 8 o'clock in the morning. Peter
Papchot had run himself down TO q
shadow during the week, but he ran easily
and fast on the last day. He was content
with third place, and took his time after
passing the goal. Dave Bennett, the
Canadian champion, finished fourth. He
was comparatively fresh, and considering
that this was his first long distance race
he made remarkable record. George
Horemae Just managed to make his 5Ot
miles, which was necessary to give him 9
share of the money. During his last "
hours he ran and walked 50 miles.
The score at the finish was az follows

was made yesterday upon that oompany's
short line train which runs between st.

sists of the use of the exhaust steam from
the dome of the engine carried through
pipes underneath the engine and cars
with patent flexible coupling between
the cars. This pipe connects in the
centre of each car with rediating pipes On
each side, with branch under each scat.
The pipes are so inclined that water con-
densed from the steam escapes from the
bottom of the car.
The test seemed to be perfectly salts

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 29.-Society in North
st. Louis is all agog over the elopement
and marriage Of James O. Branch, O
wealthy young man of good family, to
Emma Boehmer, German servant girl,
who served as domestic for four years
in his fathers house. Mr.. Branch is sec

Company, and his father, joseph W.
Branch, is yice-president of the Branch

the city.
Four years ago Emma Boehmer, then Q
plump little girl of IA years, was engaged
as dining-room girl In the Branch
family. Young Mr.. Branch conducted
himself as usual for time, but the
warmth of his nature finally asserted
itself and a clandestine courtship was be.

until the sharp eyes Of Mr.. Brapch's sis

the language Of those who recount the
story, promptly "fred" the plump and

When the sweetest love OF his life he gave

Pure as the eyes they were likened to.

As reverently as his lips have prayed.
